Giants’ Dwayne Harris runs 100 yards for kick return touchdown (Video)
By Ian O'Brien
The Dallas Cowboys may regret not re-signing Dwayne Harris after this costly kick return touchdown by the special teams ace.
New York Giants wide receiver and return specialist Dwayne Harris stuck it to his old team, the Dallas Cowboys, as he exploded for a 100-yard kick return touchdown to give the Giants their lead back. They lost it earlier when Cowboys quarterback Matt Cassel threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Devin Street and the game became tied up.
However, Harris immediately responded with a score of his own. Here is a video of Harris haunting his old team.
Harris was let go by the Cowboys in free agency during the 2015 offseason, and he signed a five-year deal with the Giants. He has instantly boosted the Giants’ special teams unit while the Cowboys look to be in danger of losing again because of special teams. Harris came up with his first career kick return touchdown against his old team, whom he spent the first four seasons of his career with.
He has already come up with two punt return touchdowns in his career while compiling a total of 3,263 return yards as of Week 6. The 28-year-old return specialist figures to be a fixture on the Giants’ special teams unit, as he came up with 18 tackles for the Cowboys in his final season in Dallas. His receiving ability continues to be limited though. He played behind talented receivers such as Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams before joining a receiving corps that includes Odell Beckham Jr. and Rueben Randle.
